Xu Yucheng’s mother initially wanted to make a scene with Xu Chengdong, believing that as the mother of a son with superpowers, Xu Chengdong should treat her with more respect and formalize their relationship. This had always been her mental obsession.
When she brought this up with Xu Chengdong, he just gave a cold laugh and said three words: "Are you worthy?"
Xu Yucheng’s mother was furious and wanted to fight with Xu Chengdong, even asking Xu Yucheng for help. However, Xu Yucheng was unmoved and turned away. As a result, Xu Chengdong beat her up, and she quieted down.
Xu Chengdong constantly sought news of Xu Yuxi and also asked Xu Yucheng to find out. When he learned that the Xu Yuxi, who was a couple with the top superpower user, was his daughter, he told Xu Yucheng not to recognize her. As long as she lived well, they wouldn’t disturb or burden her, and that was all he could do for her.
But Xu Yuxi came to find him. With memories of two lifetimes, she had learned to let go and see many things clearly and lightly. This man, with a slight gray at his temples, truly loved her but didn’t know how to express it. He also loved her mother but indeed had done wrong.
Xu Yuxi gave him many resources to help him quickly rise again in the reconstructed human society. She also gave him a card with a phone number on it, saying that as long as he called, it would solve his problems.
Xu Chengdong held these things, his lips moved as if wanting to say something, but ultimately, nothing came out.
"He is my husband, just turned nineteen, not yet old enough to marry. Once we’re of age, we will marry." This time, Xu Yuxi brought Zhang Qiang with her.
Xu Chengdong looked at Zhang Qiang, this big boy not even twenty yet, who was already the top superpower user in the nation. No, to be precise, globally.
He was in a younger-man-older-woman relationship with his daughter.
He was his son-in-law.
The feeling was a bit complicated.
"Dad, I’m leaving. Remember, if anything happens, call this number, and he’ll help you." Xu Yuxi stood up. This sudden call of "Dad" almost brought tears to Xu Chengdong’s eyes. How many years had it been since he heard her call him that?
"Where are you going?" Xu Chengdong suddenly felt a wave of panic, fearing he’d never see his daughter again.
"Take care of yourself. Also, I once loved you very much too." Xu Yuxi smiled, took Zhang Qiang’s arm, and turned to leave, walking further and further away.
Xu Chengdong stood at the door, watching their figures until they disappeared, clutching his chest. Something very important was moving away from him forever, never to return. In life, one always has to pay for their mistakes. He understood this, but it was too late...
Xu Yuxi also left Xu Yucheng something, cultivation insights, and some rare resources. She urged him to take good care of their father. And so, they parted ways.
...
Xu Yuxi handed everything her mother left her to Zhou Shiqiu, asking him to open a museum with them in the future.
"Are you going back?" Zhou Shiqiu asked reluctantly.
"Yes." Xu Yuxi also felt reluctant, but Zhang Qiang had been suppressing his power for a long time. She and Zhang Qiang were about to break the void and travel to the Great World.
"Go on, go on, although we’re not in the same world, knowing we’re both doing well is enough." Zhou Shiqiu smiled and hugged Xu Yuxi.
